Not answered Tabindex for tabitems

    Hey,
        Is there anyway to set the TabIndex property for the tabs in RadTabstrip? I want to set the tabindex of every tab so the user can select them and that they look different when their taborder is hit by the user Tab key but there is no such property.
    Thanks

    Hello Lamees Afify,

    TabItem does not support TabIndex property for tab selection. This is because Tab key e processed differently than the other keys in WidowsForms. The Tab key is used to move between separate controls and therefore events like KeyDown, KeyUp and KeyPress are not fired for controls.

    However, there is a workaround for you that I can offer. This workaround allows you to switch between the tabs in RadTabStrip pressing the Tab key. Two approaches are demonstrated:
    1. Switching between tabs depending on their order in the RadTabStrip.Items collection.
    2. You can use the Tag property to set a value, which later will be used as a TabIndex value.
    If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

    Sincerely yours,
